Coming into the season, it was easy to see a guy like Fischer getting drafted in the second round. He had a solid initial season in the Big East, and averaging 4 blocks per game is always going to get you some notice from the scouts. However, Fischer really regressed this season. His shot altering presence has been greatly diminished, as his blocks average has been cut in half. The emergence of Pittnsogle was the final nail in the coffin, as his minutes have been reduced dramatically during West Virginia's tourney-clinching run. Now, Fischer really needs a big-time effort in the dance to win back some draft buzz. His shot blocking tools haven't disappeared and Fischer actually has a very nice outside jumper, but is a poor rebounder and his offensive presence in the paint is nonexistent. If you are looking for somebody with something to prove this March, Fischer is your guy.
